Chapter Nineteen: The Bridal Chamber?
Xin Li rolled her eyes.
If framing someone doesn't work, they'll resort to these irrelevant excuses.
Xu Haiyu is even more unbearable to look at than Xu Qingyu.
Xu Qingyu at least knows how to frame others.
Xu Haiyu is clearly brainless, yet she tries to dig her own grave, and ends up digging it herself.
However, Xinli also felt very fortunate that there was such a magical device as a camera in the space.
Otherwise, it would have been difficult for her to expose Xu Haiyu's plan today.
After all, this thing depends entirely on her words.
If the watch is not found, her reputation as a thief will be confirmed.
The people on this island are so xenophobic; it's obvious how difficult her future will be.
Xin Li didn't rush to speak, but looked at He Mingzhou instead.
The man noticed her gaze and turned to look at her. When their eyes met, Xin Li saw the obvious impatience in He Mingzhou's eyes.
She almost burst out laughing.
It seems that Xu Haiyu doesn't understand the man in front of her at all.
Her plan to play the victim is likely to fail.
Sure enough, just as Xin Li finished thinking about it, she heard He Mingzhou speak in a very straightforward manner: "I can understand how you miss your brother, but I can't understand why you would throw away your watch and frame my wife."
"I can't understand why you can treat things in your dreams as reality."
"Your brother sacrificed himself to save me, and later, to fulfill his last wish, I brought you to live with me and take care of you."
“Although I’m a little older than your brother, the age difference between you and your brother isn’t that big. When I brought you here, you were already a grown woman. It’s absurd that I would go to you in the middle of the night to let you sleep with my arms around him.”
“I have never done such a thing before.”
"And I told you from the beginning that I promised your brother I would take care of you, but I never said I would take care of you forever. You are an adult now, and I am still your brother, but I also have my own life. I will never refuse to lend a hand when you need help, but I hope you will not keep disturbing my and your sister-in-law's lives."
Xu Haiyu never expected He Mingzhou to expose her like this.
This hurt her even more than when she went to pick him up today and he treated her coldly.
Especially since he said these things in front of Zhang Jinhua and Xin Li.
Xu Haiyu wished she could find a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
Zhang Jinhua had also been puzzled, but upon hearing He Mingzhou's words, he immediately understood that Xu Haiyu had fabricated these stories. After so many years of getting along, Zhang Jinhua was unwilling to believe that Xu Haiyu was a malicious person. He only felt that Xu Haiyu cared too much about He Mingzhou, her brother, and that she was upset when she found out that her brother had gotten married, which led her to do something wrong.
"Xiaoyu, how could you do something so hurtful?"
“Your sister-in-law came all the way here to marry into the family. What we need to do is make her feel at home, not make her angry and quarrel with your brother Mingzhou.”
“I know you’re worried that someone will take your brother away from you, but Xiao He is going to get married eventually. And now that he has a wife, it’s like he has two people helping you and taking care of you. Isn’t that a good thing?”
"Your sister-in-law even gave you a gift when you met her, how could you frame her like this?"
Although Zhang Jinhua's words were full of accusation, his tone was gentle.
Clearly, she wanted to give Xu Haiyu a chance to admit his mistakes and correct them.
Xu Haiyu, however, felt that Zhang Jinhua had seen the camera and knew that Xin Li had something good, so he was helping Xin Li to criticize her.
She lowered her head and didn't speak. Zhang Jinhua thought she was ashamed and felt sorry for her. "Xinxin, we are sorry for what happened just now. Xiaoyu is still young and lost her family at a young age, so it's inevitable that she is a little sensitive. I apologize to you on her behalf. Please don't hold it against her."
Xin Li didn't expect Xu Haiyu to pay any price.
Although she was also disappointed in Zhang Jinhua, she still took the opportunity to back down: "It's good that the matter has been investigated and clarified. I'm new here and I just want to get along well with everyone. I hope everyone can get along well with me too."
"Yes, yes, yes, Xiaoyu will definitely get along well with you, her sister-in-law, after she realizes her mistake."
As Zhang Jinhua spoke, he gave Xu Haiyu a push: "Xiaoyu, don't you think so?"
Xu Haiyu knew she had to make a statement, so she said "yes" reluctantly with her face flushed. Zhang Jinhua quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
Xin Li walked to He Mingzhou's side and took his arm: "I'm a little sleepy, let's go back."
He Mingzhou nodded.
Today, Xin Li was wronged. On the way back, He Mingzhou took the initiative to speak up: "I have no feelings for Xu Haiyu. She is just my comrade's sister, nothing more."
Xin Li, who was a little sleepy and not quite conscious, woke up with a start upon hearing this and gave He Mingzhou a bright smile: "I know, you don't need to explain to me."
He Mingzhou glanced at her, still holding the camera in his hand.
After a long silence, He Mingzhou finally spoke, asking in a somewhat complicated tone, "Can the photos in the camera be developed?"
"Um?"
Xinli asked curiously, "Do you have someone you like?"
He Mingzhou nodded: "There is one."
Xinli generously replied, "Sure, I'll find the things later and wash them for you."
He Mingzhou smiled more: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Xin Li's eyes darted around: "No need to mention how hard you've worked, this is a reward."
He Mingzhou was confused: "What reward?"
Xin Li smiled and said, "It's a secret."
Looking at Xin Li's bright smile, He Mingzhou realized that she was really different from what he had imagined, and his emotions changed repeatedly.
I thought that a pampered young lady like Xinli would definitely not be able to stand the island, but it turns out that she actually adapted quite well.
This person... is really different from what he imagined.
He was also quite different from any of the girls he had ever met.
When the two returned home, Xinli quickly washed up and planned to go to bed.
She paused as she entered the house, and seeing the man already in bed, she realized that they were already legally married.
Are we going to consummate our marriage tonight?
Should she go take a shower now?
Xin Li's mind was racing, and she didn't notice that He Mingzhou on the bed also looked a little nervous. When he realized that she had appeared at the door, his whole body became as hard as a rock.
After waiting for a while without seeing Xin Li go in and lie down, He Mingzhou's eyes darkened, and he suddenly lifted the blanket and sat up.
"I'll go rest in another room."
Upon hearing this, Xin Li instinctively asked, "Why? Aren't we consummating our marriage tonight?"
He Mingzhou: "?"
Xin Li, belatedly realizing what she had said, blushed, a rare occurrence for her.
The apocalypse is normal. Xin Li was used to hearing her subordinates tell dirty jokes, and she just blurted them out so naturally.
These words must have been quite a shock to He Mingzhou.
"You..." He Mingzhou was indeed shocked. Seeing Xin Li hesitate several times as if she wanted to say something, Xin Li walked over and sat down: "What do you want to say?"
